It's expecting 3 pokemon, but you only put one.

Same issue here.

Hi Zeek, thanks for the reply.

Yes my line 102 has this.

I was just about to show you my previous lines that work but i actually spotted what the issue was.

The trainer before had 3 pokemon but i didnt write the 3rd pokemons name in full caps so it skipped the line and expected CLOAKEDGIRL to be a pokemon.

A little more attention to detail is what i need to do.

Thanks again.
